Buxton U11 cricketers started their campaign with a visit to Matlock & Cromford.
Batting first Buxton made 182. Bruno Dowland smashing 33 off 15 balls and a last wicket stand of 20 between Joe Balfe and Jude Sewell were the bedrock of the innings.
In reply, Matlock were soon put under pressure with Oscar Roberts taking 2 wickets in the first over. All players then bowled tidily and got amongst the wickets. There was a brace each for George Cantrill and Liam McCabe and 3 wickets for Isla Stewart. The bowlers were ably supported by the keeping of Roman McKenna, with only 6 extras bowled.
Restricting Matlock to 66, capped a fine all round performance and an impressive 116 run victory.
